Machine learning is incredibly important and not like generative ai and I hate how people conflate it. Basically all industry in China operates with machine learning vibration detection to resolve production line issues quickly. If you banned machine learning there would be almost no industry in the world that could operate at scale properly

This is one of the things I've always found awesome: Using viruses to kill viruses, using bacteria to kill bacteria; it's awesome to think that maybe in fifty years we'll treat gunshot victims by shooting them

(just so we're clear I am joking; I do actually think science has come up with ingenious ways to treat people)

It's a new treatment that was pioneered in the last few years

I'm sure there have been recent advances, but the Soviets used phage therapies all the way back in 1930

Is it cool? Yes.

Is manufacturing novel viruses a scientific discovery that we're ready to handle, such that it will help more people than harm them? I'm extremely convinced the answer is no. Thousands of lives will be a drop in the ocean compared to when someone makes COVID-19 2. Or when someone kills all the monoculture corn and wheat in the world.

It'd have to be T first; the AI would have been trained on Progenitor. In-game, we'd likely see each of these referred to as "strains" of T, despite the possible wildly different effects and outcomes, since naming tended to be generational in the RE series. Or, one is T, one is G, and the others are dead ends; and development continues on those that show promise for B.O.W. or life-enhancement applications.

Technically, the T-series was the only one that was intentionally developed, I believe, and G was a natural evolution of the virus within a specific host.
